About This Activity
3-6 year olds: Shhh… the bears are sleeping! Children explore the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, stand beneath a giant blue whale skeleton, and discover what happens to a bear's body during hibernation. They examine skulls, fur and tracks, and build a cozy den that stays warm and dry. 7-12 year olds: Students investigate the science of winter survival. At the Beaty Biodiversity Museum, they examine skulls, fur and tracks like field biologists, explore what happens inside a hibernating bear, and design a den built to stay warm and dry. Comparing hibernation, migration and adaptation, they uncover how animals make it through winter.
